Sigma Smart Board

Sigma Smart Board is an in-house solution developed for daily use during time-limited daily Scrum meetings. The solution was implemented as an online application designed to facilitate cooperation for geographically distributed as well as co-located teams. Intended users are software developers, who apply Agile methodology.

SOLUTION

Agile software development methodology relies on people, who closely collaborate with each other. One of indispensable attributes of Scrum is a corkboard with stickers around which the team gathers every day to discuss project status. For teams distributed across several locations this becomes an issue. This project was aimed at resolving the problem by providing a virtual board available for all team members.

The greatest challenge was to create user interfaces fulfilling highest demands on usability. In order to ensure that all expectations of end users are met, the project was performed using several stages of user experience refinement, including prototyping and testing in focus groups.
